You could also just change the name of your BBEdit application from "BBEdit 6.5" to "BBEdit". There's nothing magic about the app's file name, so this shouldn't break anything. It won't break *compiled* applescripts, since they store a reference to application, not the name of the app.As a general solution for not-yet-compiled applescripts, such as those embedded in Perl scripts, I'm not sure what to suggest, other than not including version info in application file names. :^)
